Song needed

I have a sort of a song that is sung in my reading, and I need a clip of the tune. Can any one help?

Oh no, we never mention him

"Perhaps, like me, he struggles with
Each feeling of regret:
But if he's loved as I have loved,
He never can forget!"

Perhaps it doesn't matter, as it appears the singer departs completely from the tune.
"The last line he roared out at the top of his voice, breaking each word into half a dozen syllables."

You can find the sheet music here:

http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/levy-search.html

You'll have to search for it as I can't seem to get a direct link to work. It returns a couple different options, when I search the first one seemed to be the one you are looking for.

edit- And the song was originally Oh no we never mention her but I just searched for we never mention.

Well, on the bottom of page 1 of the sheet music it says Copyright 1922 so it should be good. From the poking around I've done on the Levy site, they seem very good about not making images available for copyright items. You'll get information to let you know they have it but won't be able to see the sheet music.

The permission statement you linked to only applies to reproduction of the images they supply. Performance is a different fish.
